The 50-year-old Gloucester County resident bought the $2 Quick Pick ticket from her phone for the Saturday, April 15 drawing and matched all but the red Powerball number, lottery officials said.
The giddy grandma gasped as she awoke before dawn the next morning to an email from the app stating that she’d won, initially thinking it may have been some type of hoax — it wasn’t.
“I didn’t believe it at first. I thought it was a scam,” she said. “But when I realized it was for real, I was pretty happy!”
